The Wandering Jew: A Novella

Summary

The legend of the Wandering Jew starts in Jerusalem, at almost the time of the Crucifixion itself, when Jesus tells Ahasverus to wait for his return. That condemns him to life without death, and this story relates the first few days after the command, when Ahasverus inadvertently gets involved in the parallel crucifixion plot of the moneylenders thrown out of Solomon’s Temple.
